SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA

“So five years of bombing, a diet of bark, bugs,

lizards and leaves up in the Cambodian jungles,

an education in Paris environs in a strict Maoist

doctrine with a touch of Rousseau, and other

things that we will probably never know about in

our lifetime. Including perhaps an invisible cloud

of evil that circles the Earth and lands at random

in places like Iran, Beirut, Germany, Cambodia,

America, set the KhmerRouge out to commit

the worst auto-homeo genocide in modern

history.”

Conclusion:

SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA

Gray talks about his idea of “perfect moments”: what does this

phrase mean?

What is happening to him during his “perfect moment”?
